  1. Big Memory Systems on Where are the Large RAM Systems? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    If I remember right, I saw an option in the 2.4.x kernel that had the option for large memory support. The choices were either 4GB or 64GB. But come to think of it, I'm not sure if that's for RAM or memory addressing.

  2. DoS Attacks on Intel Develops Hardware To Enhance TCP/IP Stacks · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Will this technology make it easier for systems to withstand DoS Attacks?

  3. Re:Impose an E-embargo against MCI on Spamhaus: MCI Makes $5M A Year In Spam Profits · · Score: 1

    You're getting what you pay for.

  4. Re:Impose an E-embargo against MCI on Spamhaus: MCI Makes $5M A Year In Spam Profits · · Score: 1

    I'd rather lose 1/3 than 3/3. Besides that, Worldcom had to file chapter 11. That doesn't aspire me much confidence.

  5. Impose an E-embargo against MCI on Spamhaus: MCI Makes $5M A Year In Spam Profits · · Score: 3, Interesting

    ISPs should impose an E-embargo against MCI because they support spammers. All mail and traffic from MCI should be blocked until MCI stops helping spammers.

  6. I knew that asteroid looked familiar on Asteroid To Be Naked-Eye Visible In 2029 · · Score: 1

    It's the asteroid that the technodrome is stuck on in Dimension-X. Since Krang and Shredder couldn't pull the technodrome back to Earth, they pulled the entire asteroid into our solar system.

  7. It still won't be what is was on SBC and AT&T Boards Vote to Go Ahead · · Score: 1

    Lucent Technologies broke off of AT&T. That dropped AT&T down from being a phone company to just being a company that provides phone service.

  8. What about WinX? on Microsoft Claims Linux Security a Myth · · Score: 3, Funny

    Why is Microsoft complaining about security liablity of Linux when they're writing and selling a desktop for it?

  9. Re:Oppsie on LiveJournal Blackout Analysis Online · · Score: 1

    You mean that big red button wasn't the coffee maker? Oops.

  10. Microsoft responds to Live Journal incident on LiveJournal Blackout Analysis Online · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    "Must be uh, must be why we're not shipping Longhorn yet."

  11. The biggest advantages on Monitor Basics - LCD vs. CRT · · Score: 1

    The biggest advantages of LCD over CRT are weight and space.

  12. Don't forget CSM on Duchovny Says X-Files Sequel in Works · · Score: 1

    Would it be possible by some miracle that Cigarette Smoking Man somehow made a comeback? The last I saw, he was blown up by missiles from helicopters while hiding in ruins.

  13. Safe for scripting on Brian Hook on the ActiveX Experience · · Score: 1

    Don't forget about those safe for scripting controls. Those can be modified to do some nasty stuff too.

    Also, setting a web page as a background on your desktop can delete your hard drive if the web page has malicious ActiveX controls.

  14. Re:might have to keep it around? on Firefox Reviewed in the Globe and Mail · · Score: 1

    Go to Litepc.com. You can get 98lite or 2000/XPlite which will make Internet Explorer an uninstallable component in the add/remove programs section.

  15. Turning point on Inside the Mind of a Virus Writer · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The article doesn't mention what the turning point in his life was. I think that would fill in a big gap.

  16. Fraudulent claims on FBI Warns: Many Tsunami Relief Pleas Are Fake · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It seems that fraudulent claims in the wake of disaster are becoming commonplace. During 9/11 there were many scams and fake pleas for disaster relief. Such claims are no different than denying people the help that they need. In a way, it's almost like a DOS attack against victims.

  17. Wireless on Google Exposes Web Surveillance Cams · · Score: 1

    Instead of using wireless on cameras, they could have used wired connections and allowed a VPN login. That might have been a *little* safer. So much for Closed Circuit TV.

  18. Better add Trojan Hunter to the list on MS AntiSpyware vs Ad-Aware vs. SpyBot · · Score: 1

    I worked on a system that was infested with spyware and adware. I ran both Spybot and Adaware on it. I still wasn't certain that the worst was gone, so I downloaded Trojan Hunter and there were numerous trojans found on the system. They were listed as adware trojans.

  19. Re:A thing I don't understand on Tsunami Satellite Images · · Score: 1

    Our government gives more money and help to other countries than it gives us! They gave Israel money for healthcare but they couldn't do anything for us here at home.

  20. Of course Microsoft is blaming users on Microsoft May Charge for Security Tools · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's like the government scaring people into giving up their freedoms for security. Since most people are uneducated, they will fall for it. They don't know any better. And that plays into Microsoft's hands because A)people will think that Microsoft isn't at fault and B)Experts will appear descredited in the eyes of the consumer. And Eeye doesn't know what it's talking about. They've never heard of "Marked safe for scripting" ActiveX controls. You know, the kind that are *supposed* to be safe but have been modified to infect and/or damage computers. That's hardly a user error.

  21. This is bad for democracy on Given Up to Spyware? · · Score: 1

    When people let corporations spy on them willfully, they surrender their right to privacy. But these kind of people don't just stop with spyware. They let it go all the way up to the government. It's the uncaring and uneducated masses that have left our nation in a state of peril and uncertainty. When people stop caring, freedoms start disappearing.

  22. Re:Lake in Asia? on Science in Antarctica · · Score: 1

    Europa is one of Jupiter's moons.

  23. Lake in Antarctica? on Science in Antarctica · · Score: 1

    Isn't there an underground lake in Anarctica that yields the possibility of life on Europa?

  24. I don't think so on Half of U.S. I.T. Operations Jobs to Vanish · · Score: 1

    Unless they plan on running that Datacenter with advanced AI, they have another thing coming. Not only can the servers and software screw up, but so can the machines running them.

    An assembly line is one thing. But a datacenter is another thing altogether. Isn't heat and airflow an issue at datacenters? Wouldn't making things automated result in more heat because of all the machinery invovled?

  25. They're a day late and a dollar short on Lycos Anti-Spam Site Compromised [Updated] · · Score: 1

    That screensaver is probably already circulating on P2P networks as well as FTP and Instant Messenging.
